Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Author: William Whiting, 1825-1878 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 425 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm has bound the restless wave,
who told the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed bounds to keep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those who peril on the sea.
2 O Christ, whose voice the waters heard
and hushed their raging at your word,
who walked across the surging deep
and in the storm lay calm in sleep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
3 Creator Spirit, by whose breath
were fashioned sea and sky and earth;
who made the stormy chaos cease
and gave us life and light and peace:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
preserve their lives in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, flood and flame,
protect them by your holy name,
and to your glory let there be
glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Topics: Praise to Christ Used With Tune: MELITA

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

not a frown nor a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey. [Refrain]

the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;

and the joy he bestows
are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]

we will sit at his feet,
or we'll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,

My Faith Looks Up to Thee
Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 2,204 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
be wholly thine!
2 May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire;
as thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
pure, warm, and changeless be,
a living fire!
3 While life’s dark maze I tread,
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide;
bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow’s tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
when death’s cold, sullen stream
shall o'er me roll;
blest Savior, then, in love,
fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
a ransomed soul! Topics: Walking in Faith Used With Tune: OLIVET
